Celebrities and fans opened their hearts – and wallets – to raise money for the IIFA Foundation and the Mijwan Welfare Society for children in India. India’s Vikram Phadnis and U.S.-based designer Amita Bal showed collections that included rich, hand-beaded saris, lenghas and suits. Actress Gauhar Khan and actor Vivek Oberoi hosted the invitation-only event, IIFA Rocks, at the Tampa Convention Center.
